Horse Racing And Seabiscut -- A Hope, A Prayer, And A Horse! "Is there a part of the year you can 't go out?" I asked. "The winter--too risky. Below freezing, the spray starts forming ice on the bow. The added weight makes the bow of the boat lie lower in the water. Inexperienced guys fishing in winterhave allowed so much ice to build up on the bow that in heavy seas the bow starts to dip beneath the waves. One dip too deep, and she goes down. Only thing to do for it is to grab and ax and knock the ice off once in a while. If you forget and let it build up, you're dead." Think of that bow-ice as representing sinful pride. Little by little it builds up until you can't stay spiritually afloat a moment ...(related: Spirituality)
Even though our lives progressively moves forwardon occasion it has a way of working what seems tobe in a backwards motion, yet in the end achievesthe same results. I remember years ago when Istarted my bodybuilding career, I had no self-confidence, poor self-esteem, and an introvertedpersonality. I couldn't fathom doing what othersbelieved I could accomplish in such an unusualsport that went totally against my nature.However, at first I thought, "I didn't want to letthem down and what if they're right? What if Icould accomplish something if I set my mind to it,I asked? What if by believing in something biggerthan myself would allo...(related: Spirituality)

How Big Is God?
WOW ... what a question. But today, while I was walking on the treadmill, it popped into my head. Trying to forget the two mile mark I'm heading toward, I sometimes find myself thinking up 'really deep' subjects. Other times, I'm probably checking the calories burned imagining what I can have for lunch! But ... back to God.Today, I began asking myself ... "Do I really believe He is in control of everything?" That's big. If I sound like a new Christian, please let me assure you I'm not. That's why this thought was even more disturbing to me. Why was...(related: Spirituality)
How Do You Know If You Have Psychic Ability?

Hardly an ideal back g...(related: Spirituality)

How I Met My Angel
Today I was in rather a whimsical mood, and so instead of my usual "how to" article, I thought I'd create a fairy tale for the child within you to enjoy.When I was just a young soul, on my first incarnation to be a human being, I wasn't sure that I wanted to go to Earth School.I felt so happy here, in Paradise. I did what I liked and I never ran out of time. I played with my friends and we made art by mixing colors out of rainbows, and made music by waving our hands in certain ways in the wind, and made animals to love out of the flowers in the fields. Sometimes, too, we blew bubbles out of sunshine or created small fountains by collecting the dew from petals."I don't really want to go to school, Mother God," I said. Azna smiled an...(related: Spirituality)
How Its Always Now
How do we feel the fullness of life itself?We have to go underneath the busy mind. And go into that deep sense of being itself. Here we find love, inspiration, and our own free spirit.In your field of consciousness, there is a deep sense of eternal, timeless awareness. It is an inner silence. The psychology of well being originates here.Yet the silence is full. It has an amplitude and dimension to it. It is a vast power, a benign power, a power of complete and utter love. It has an undefinable qua...(related: Spirituality)
How Long, O Lord? A Meditation On Habakkuk
In Habakkuk, the prophet cries out in a lament complaint twice, only to hear back from God a very unassuring response: Wait for me to answer.And Habakkuk's complaints are legitimate. He is one of the faithful in Israel, and even though he knows Israel has its faults and is being punished by God for their infidelity, he also knows that Israel is better than the nations around them, if for no other reason than their special relationship with God. Yet, Habakkuk sees the "righteous" being destroyed by the wicked (in the first case, Assyria; in the second, Babylon). So he cries out to God.At first he receives a satisfactory answer: God is raising up another nation to take...(related: Spirituality)

How Old Are You?
Some of us might hear from time to time that we are "Old Souls". I remember when I was told this for the first time. It sounded great, even without understanding the deep essence and meaning of it. That expression did not feel strange to me for one reason, I always felt old, even as a young child since the age of 7. I am probably touching upon many different people who share that same feeling from young age too!What is an "Old Soul" in the first place? And how really we can pinpoint them from the crowd?An "Old Soul" is still a human being. Don't get me wrong here!! The way I see it and from what I was told from my guides: "An Old Soul is a wiser, knowledgeable being that has already bypassed all ...(related: Spirituality)

How Shall We Then Live?

And it is because of his many years of experience that he adopted the doctrine that all is meaningless, utterly meaningless.If you were to read Ecclesiastes for the...(related: Spirituality)
How To Be Led By The Spirit Of God
The Bible tells us that we need to be led by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:12-14, Galatians 5:16-25). Therefore, it is necessary for us to discern the prompting and guidance of the Holy Spirit if we are to live successful lives.Getting to know God better is ultimately the key to hearing from, and being led by Him.1. Spend time alone with Him in prayer and Bible reading. This should be a priority, not a chore that you grudgingly do if you happen to have some spare time.2. During your time alone with God, don't expect to feel...(related: Spirituality)
How To Change Your Attitudes
What type of person grabs your attention and motivates you? Usually it's a person who is very passionate about what he or she is doing. She's on fire and her excitement floods the room she is in. When she talks something inside you gets stirred - the desire also to be passionate about something. Anything!

How To Find Your Center Of Power
The still place is the beginning. Settle in there, ask for order, and an inner force will prioritize all that you need.Action can be inner or outer, depending on how Spirit wants you to move.It's never about doing something or resolving something. It's always about being.When you settle into your beingness, you also release want and scarcity. The way will then be made plain to you. But it will happen in degrees. You will be shown one step at a time.Your losses are in the past. They are miscreations that you can set behind you.All fear, all doubt, and all anxiety are misperceptions based on avoiding the center of your life, your beingness.You will prosper when your mind is controlled by your soul, but not before then. When the mind runs you, then you can only expect the past to roll ov...(related: Spirituality)
How To Forgive Someone
We've all heard the saying, "You have to forgive, but you don't have to forget." I won't refute that, but you have to agree that a lot of people use that excuse to never 'really' forgive at all. Are you one of those people?Let's rephrase it a little. "You have to forgive?and you have to forget the anger, the pain, the anxiety, and everything else that comes with someone sinning against you. But you don't have to make yourself a target (even though Jesus did)." Sound a little more difficult? This is really the Christian way of life, and it's going to be difficult. No one promised you would enjoy it.So we'll start with the forgiveness. This is where you have the most control, because it's an act of will. You have to decid...(related: Spirituality)
How To Hear From God
We want to hear from God so that we may be led to pursue the right things. Unfortunately, there are always three voices in every ones head at any given time; God's voice, the devil's voice, and the voice of our own flesh. So, how are we to be sure to hear from God with all the noise going on?It really is very simple. If we wan...(related: Spirituality)

How To Make Your Dreams Come True
You will become as great as your dominant aspiration...If you cherish a vision, a lofty ideal in your heart, you will realize it.~James Allen, As You ThinkThis morning I was thinking about the structure of consciousness. I'd like to share my ideas with you because they'll give you a grasp of how you are the architect of your own abundance.We experience consciousness as thinking. Thinking, in turn, arises from the senses interacting with the world, absorbing data, and then mapping out the meaning of that information. Thinking is a compulsive and flowing habit, an incessant pulsation of electromagnetic waves in our brains.However to think, we need a thinker. Thus, while thinking may appear to be all that there is t...(related: Spirituality)
How To Meditate Using The Bible Like A Double-edged Sword
Imagine the Bible is a sharp and deadly double-edgedsword, and with it you are able to use the word of Godto fight wickedness by performing miracles like Jesusdid and delegated to us so we could do also.Matthew 10:7-8 And as ye go, preach, saying, Thekingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleansethe lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely yehave received, freely give.But remember it is highly unlikely that you'll be ableto inflict a heavy blow on the enemy with your swordlike Jesus did by performing miracles without firstmeditating on the word of God in the Bible.Can you remember a time as a child when you dreamed ofsaving the princess by slaying the dragon with yourmighty sword?

How To Unleash The Power Of Prayer
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory ~Phil.4:19Today a dear friend of mine could not pay the rent. She was in grief.

Like most people she found it impossible to believe in the impossible. She attributed her previous results to luck, effort and charm.Perhaps you, like her, share the same view that some things just aren't possi...(related: Spirituality)
How To Walk On The Path Of Peace (part 3)
As you grow in wisdom, you will release, more and more, self-limiting beliefs, which are transient, and become aware of the powerful role you play in bringing change to the whole.Through your meditations knowledge of eternal principles is realized, and the power, which results from meditation, is the ability to rest upon and trust those principles. The end of meditation is, therefore, direct knowledge of Truth, God, and the realization of divine and profound peace.As you sincerely meditate, you will first perceive a truth, gently and fleetingly present in your awareness, and then begin realizing it by daily practice in your thoughts and actions. Though by pure thought ...(related: Spirituality)

Kundalini And Enlightenment
We all hear of the concept of the "Enlightened Master", and I do believe they exist.However, awakened kundalini DOES NOT automatically make one an enlightened master. It just means that you've begun to access your inner energies and begin creating your life as you intended to live it when you came back here.Awakening the kundalini is NOT the end result or the goal. It's just a waypoint on your spiritual/emotional/physical development. It's like crossing a river. Now you're on the other side, but the journey continues.I've met people whose sole focus in life was the kundalini. That's all...(related: Spirituality)
Spiritual Prosperity

Money, in fact, is a separate energy that is neutral and whose value depends on how it is used.We come into the world based on our spiritual consent.We co...(related: Spirituality)
Vacation Pilgrimage
I heard recently on a Christian radio station somebody talking about turning a vacation into a pilgrimage or a sabbath time, an opportunity to get closer to God. The speaker said that there is no word in ancient languages equivalent to the word "vacation". While I don't think that's true (the word has it's origins in the Latin), I would agree if she had said that ancient people probably did not generally have time for vacationing since they were often more preocuppied with daily survival. The closest these people may have ever gotten to a vacation could have been a religious pilgrimage.One dictionary definition of a pilgrimage is "A long journey o...(related: Spirituality)
